The Power of Design

The wedding album is one of the most important elements of your wedding and will be a lasting reminder of this special day that you will be able to enjoy for many years to come. The most effective albums tell a story and with every wedding there is a special story to be told. In fact, during the event, I often photograph specific images with the album in mind. Turning the page should take you through the entire event, highlighting the special moments that were captured.

My goal is to always create a custom one-of-a-kind album that my clients will love.

Many photographers are now outsourcing their albums or using templates either due to time limitations or because they just don’t have the design experience. Building an album from scratch is a lengthy process as well as very technical but I believe is the most powerful way to create your albums. In the end, when you are looking at your custom designed album, you will know what you are holding is truly priceless.

With an extensive background in design and many years experience in design as well as photography, I have high expectations of what I expect from a kosher wedding or Bar/Bat mitzvah album.

It is because of this background that Mendel Meyers Studios does not outsource or use album templates.

We design every album by hand taking into consideration the clients preferences.

Once I have a design laid out I meet with my clients and could spend anywhere from an hour to several hours spanning over a few appointments.

Take a look at the collage below using images from the wedding of Sruli Elbogen and Chavie Broker at the Brooklyn Marriott. This was put together using four photographs and creates a very powerful statement, drawing the viewer into the composition. Imagine the difference if these were placed side by side.

In the end, it really is collaboration between Mendel Meyers Studios and the client, giving you what I hope is a priceless wedding album that will be treasured for years and even generations to come.

Each of our albums are completely unique and truly stand out as a work of art! Feel free to call our office for an appointment to view some of our albums in person, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
